Caverna High School

Caverna High School is a small public high school located in Horse Cave, Kentucky. Built in 1950, the school is operated by the Caverna Independent Schools, one of only two school districts in Kentucky that are known to operate across county lines (the other one is in Corbin, a city that straddles a county line). In 1950, Horse Cave, located in Hart County; Cave City, in Barren County; and the Kentucky Board of Education held a meeting that approved the union of the two districts because of the low student numbers in both school systems. The actual construction of the new school did not start until 1951. Originally the school was going to be named, "Caberma." However, it was decided to stay with the name "Caverna."Alma materOn our cities' Eastern border, reared against the sky, Proudly stands our Alma Mater as the years go by.
